I am trying to create one single query that will give me a distinct count for both the ActivityID and the CommentID. My query in MS Access looks like this:
SELECT
tbl_Category.Category, Count(tbl_Activity.ActivityID) AS CountOfActivityID,
Count(tbl_Comments.CommentID) AS CountOfCommentID
FROM tbl_Category LEFT JOIN
(tbl_Activity LEFT JOIN tbl_Comments ON
tbl_Activity.ActivityID = tbl_Comments.ActivityID) ON
tbl_Category.CategoryID = tbl_Activity.CategoryID
WHERE
(((tbl_Activity.UnitID)=5) AND ((tbl_Comments.PeriodID)=1))
GROUP BY
tbl_Category.Category;
I know the answer must somehow include SELECT DISTINCT but am not able to get it to work. Do I need to create multiple subqueries?
This is really painful in MS Access. I think the following does what you want to do:
SELECT ac.Category, ac.num_activities, aco.num_comments
FROM (SELECT ca.category, COUNT(*) as num_activities
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT c.Category, a.ActivityID
FROM (tbl_Category as c INNER JOIN
tbl_Activity as a
ON c.CategoryID = a.CategoryID
) INNER JOIN
tbl_Comments as co
ON a.ActivityID = co.ActivityID
WHERE a.UnitID = 5 AND co.PeriodID = 1
) as caa
GROUP BY ca.category
) as ca LEFT JOIN
(SELECT c.Category, COUNT(*) as num_comments
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT c.Category, co.CommentId
FROM (tbl_Category as c INNER JOIN
tbl_Activity as a
ON c.CategoryID = a.CategoryID
) INNER JOIN
tbl_Comments as co
ON a.ActivityID = co.ActivityID
WHERE a.UnitID = 5 AND co.PeriodID = 1
) as aco
GROUP BY c.Category
) as aco
ON aco.CommentId = ac.CommentId
Note that your LEFT JOINs are superfluous because the WHERE clause turns them into INNER JOINs. This adjusts the logic for that purpose. The filtering is also very tricky, because it uses both tables, requiring that both subqueries have both JOINs.
You can use DISTINCT:
SELECT
tbl_Category.Category, Count(DISTINCT tbl_Activity.ActivityID) AS CountOfActivityID,
Count(DISTINCT tbl_Comments.CommentID) AS CountOfCommentID
FROM tbl_Category LEFT JOIN
(tbl_Activity LEFT JOIN tbl_Comments ON
tbl_Activity.ActivityID = tbl_Comments.ActivityID) ON
tbl_Category.CategoryID = tbl_Activity.CategoryID
WHERE
(((tbl_Activity.UnitID)=5) AND ((tbl_Comments.PeriodID)=1))
GROUP BY
tbl_Category.Category;

I am working with sql server through SSMS right now. How can i choose all people with multiple(>2)vacancies?
I am trying something like that, but i dont understand how to make part with "more than 2 vacancies"?
SELECT dbo.applicants.FirstName, dbo.vacancy.Name
FROM dbo.applicants INNER JOIN
dbo.VacancyApplicant ON dbo.applicants.id = dbo.VacancyApplicant.ApplicantId INNER JOIN
dbo.vacancy ON dbo.VacancyApplicant.VacancyId = dbo.vacancy.id WHERE dbo.vacancy.Name='third vacancy'
SELECT dbo.applicants.FirstName, dbo.vacancy.Name
FROM dbo.applicants A INNER JOIN
dbo.VacancyApplicant V ON A.id = V.ApplicantId
WHERE EXIST(
SELECT 1
FROM dbo.applicants INNER JOIN
dbo.VacancyApplicant ON dbo.applicants.id =
dbo.VacancyApplicant.ApplicantId INNER JOIN
dbo.vacancy ON dbo.VacancyApplicant.VacancyId = dbo.vacancy.id
WHERE A.id=dbo.applicants.id
GROUP BY dbo.applicants.id,dbo.vacancy.id
HAVING COUNT(1)>2
)
Group By and Having are you basic answer. Below is a simple solution, might not be ideal, but can give you the idea.
I am finding target "applicants" ids in subquery, that uses GROUP BY and HAVING then outer query joins to that to output FirstName and LastName of applicant
SELECT dbo.applicants.FirstName, dbo.applicants.LastName FROM
dbo.applicants a INNER JOIN
(
SELECT dbo.applicants.id
FROM dbo.applicants INNER JOIN
dbo.VacancyApplicant ON dbo.applicants.id = dbo.VacancyApplicant.ApplicantId INNER JOIN
dbo.vacancy ON dbo.VacancyApplicant.VacancyId = dbo.vacancy.id AND dbo.vacancy.Name='third vacancy'
GROUP BY dbo.applications.id
HAVING COUNT(dbo.vacancy.id) > 2
) targetIds ON a.id = targetIds.id
"more than 2 vacancies"?
Your question only mentions vacancies but your query is filtering for a particular name. I assume you really want more than two of that name.
If I understand correctly, you want aggregation:
SELECT a.FirstName, a.Name
FROM dbo.applicants a INNER JOIN
dbo.VacancyApplicant va
ON a.id = va.ApplicantId INNER JOIN
dbo.vacancy v
ON va.VacancyId = v.id
WHERE v.Name = 'third vacancy'
GROUP BY a.FirstName, v.Name
HAVING COUNT(*) > 2;
Note the use of table aliases. They make the query easier to write and to read.
WITH TempCTE AS (
SELECT DISTINCT ap.FirstName
,vc.Name
,COUNT (va.VacancyId) OVER (PARTITION BY ap.id) AS NoOfVacancies
FROM dbo.applicants ap
JOIN dbo.VacancyApplicant va
ON ap.id = va.ApplicantId
JOIN dbo.vacancy vc
ON va.VacancyId = vc.id
)
SELECT FirstName,[Name], NoOfVacancies FROM TempCTE
WHERE NoOfVacancies > 2
This SQL query needs to be done in ACCESS.
I am trying to do a subquery on the total sales, but I want to link the sale to the province AND to product. The below query will work with one or the other: (po.product_name = allp.all_products) AND (p.province = allp.all_province); -- but it will no take both.
I will be including every month into this query, once I can figure out the subquery on with two criteria.
Select
p.province as [Province],
po.product_name as [Product],
all_price
FROM
(purchase_order po
INNER JOIN person p
on p.person_id = po.person_id)
left join
(
select
po1.product_name AS [all_products],
sum(pp1.price) AS [all_price],
p1.province AS [all_province]
from (purchase_order po1
INNER JOIN product pp1
on po1.product_name = pp1.product_name)
INNER JOIN person p1
on po1.person_id = p1.person_id
group by po1.product_name, pp1.price, p1.province
)
as allp
on (po.product_name = allp.all_products) AND (p.province = allp.all_province);
Make the first select sql into a table by giving it an alias and join table 1 to table 2. I don't have your table structure or data to test it but I think this will lead you down the right path:
select table1.*, table2.*
from
(Select
p.province as [Province],
po.product_name as [Product]
--removed this ,all_price
FROM
(purchase_order po
INNER JOIN person p
on p.person_id = po.person_id) table1
left join
(
select
po1.product_name AS [all_products],
sum(pp1.price) AS [all_price],
p1.province AS [all_province]
from (purchase_order po1
INNER JOIN product pp1
on po1.product_name = pp1.product_name)
INNER JOIN person p1
on po1.person_id = p1.person_id
group by po1.product_name, pp1.price, p1.province --check your group by, I dont think you want pp1.price here if you want to aggregate
) as table2 --changed from allp
on (table1.product = table2.all_products) AND (table1.province = table2.all_province);
I want to limit the results in a lateral join, so that it only returns the N most recent matches.
This is my query, but the limit inside the join does not seem to work, as it returns all visitors
select am.id, am.title, ame.event, array_agg(row_to_json(visitors))
from auto_messages am
left join apps a on am.app_id = a.id
left join app_users au on a.id = au.app_id
left join auto_message_events ame on ame.auto_message_id = am.id
left join lateral (
select
id,
name,
avatar,
ame.inserted_at
from visitors v
where v.id = ame.visitor_id
order by ame.inserted_at desc
limit 1
) as visitors on visitors.id = ame.visitor_id
where am.id = '100'
group by am.id, ame.event
I am pretty sure the problem is with ame. That is where the rows are generated. The join to visitors is only picking up additional information.
So, this might solve your problem:
select am.id, am.title, visitors.event, array_agg(row_to_json(visitors))
from auto_messages am left join
apps a
on am.app_id = a.id left join
app_users au
on a.id = au.app_id left join lateral
(select v.id, v.name, v.avatar,
ame.event, ame.inserted_at, ame.auto_message_id
from auto_message_events ame join
visitors v
on v.id = ame.visitor_id
order by ame.inserted_at desc
limit 1
) visitors
on visitors.auto_message_id = am.id
where am.id = '100'
group by am.id, visitors.event;
You also might want to change your select clause, if you only want a subset of columns.
SELECT A.Name, H.Name as BookedBy
FROM dbo.vwAllLoads A WITH (NOEXPAND)
LEFT JOIN dbo.SystemInfo H
ON (A.BookedByUserID = H.GlobalNetUserID)
WHERE ((A.CustomerID IN (SELECT UCR.CustomerID
FROM dbo.UserCustomerRelations UCR
WHERE UCR.UserID IN
(SELECT UserID FROM #PodUsers)
OR H.GlobalUserID IN
(SELECT UserID FROM #PodUsers)))
Now I filter data using above where clause. How can I accomplish the same using joins or in a better way?
Please help
Assuming your query is something like:
select a.*
from a
where A.CustomerID IN (SELECT UCR.CustomerID
FROM dbo.UserCustomerRelations UCR
WHERE UCR.UserID IN (SELECT UserID FROM #PodUsers) OR
UCR.GlobalNetUserID IN (SELECT UserID FROM #PodUsers)
-----------------------------^ was `H`, I'm assuming is `UCR`
)
Then the following should be an equivalent query using joins:
select distinct a.*
from a join
dbo.UserCustomerRelations ucr
on A.CustomerID = ucr.CustomerID join
#PodUsers pu
on ucr.UserId = pu.UserId or ucr.UserId = ucr.GlobalNetUserID = pu.UserId;
The distinct would be unnecessary if you know that the joins do not produce multiple rows
I guess something like this:
INNER JOIN [dbo].[UserCustomerRelations] UCR
ON A.[CustomerID] = UCR.[CustomerID]
INNER JOIN #PodUsers PU
ON UCR.[CustomerID] = PD.[UserID]
OR H.[GlobalNetUserID] = PD.[UserID]
I want to show only the top 5 comments for a specific post (Like the post on facebook where people cant comment them).
gbn was kind enough to help figure out that issue by doing the following:
select
*
FROM
tblPost P
OUTER APPLY
(SELECT TOP 5 * FROM tblComment C
WHERE P.id = C.postid
ORDER BY something) inline
But since I'm no sql grand master I would need your help to put that into my real sql statement.
SELECT *
FROM
memberactions INNER JOIN
actions ON memberactions.actionid = actions.id INNER JOIN
members ON memberactions.memberid = members.id LEFT OUTER JOIN
members members_2 INNER JOIN
actioncomments ON members_2.id = actioncomments.memberid INNER JOIN
comments ON actioncomments.commentid = comments.id ON actions.id = actioncomments.actionid
So my question is could you rearrange my sql to put the OUTER APPLY in my real sql statement.
Assuming that my table comments reprensent tblComment and that actioncomments represent the table tblPost
There does not seem to be a need for the member_2 table at all, but this is a faithful representation of what you had (preserving member_2)
SELECT *
FROM memberactions
INNER JOIN actions
ON memberactions.actionid = actions.id
INNER JOIN members
ON memberactions.memberid = members.id
OUTER APPLY (
select top(5) *
FROM actioncomments
inner join comments ON actioncomments.commentid = comments.id
inner join members members_2 ON members_2.id = actioncomments.memberid
WHERE actions.id = actioncomments.actionid
order by comments.id desc) comments
SELECT *
FROM
memberactions
INNER JOIN actions
ON memberactions.actionid = actions.id
INNER JOIN members
ON memberactions.memberid = members.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN members members_2
INNER JOIN actioncomments
ON members_2.id = actioncomments.memberid
OUTER APPLY
(SELECT TOP 5 * FROM comments C
WHERE actioncomments.commentid = comments.id
ORDER BY something)
ON actions.id = actioncomments.actioni
still don't know what you want to order by
